I'm posting a photo of some mitties that I've made in Patons SWS (which I just think is so priddy), and a hat in SWS. The hat is in "Natural Navy", but I've lost the tag for the mittens so i can't recall what the colourway is.

The hat is based on Bzzz Hat for Queen Bees from Stitch'n'Bitch Nation, and unfortunately may look a little icky in the photo...

And the mittens (so soft & cozy)

If you want a pattern for mittens in SWS - here you go (never in my life have i written a pattern, so please forgive me) -

This will fit standard lady hands:

Materials - 1 Ball Patons SWS 5mm dpns

CO 32 stitches and divide on dpnswork in k3, p1 ribbing for 3" k1, make 1, k1, make 1, then knit to end of roundk 2 more rounds

you should end up with about 6 stitches left which you'll pull your tail yarn through, then weave in the end. If you don't quite have 6, don't sweat it...just keep decreasing till you do.

for the thumb - put the 10 sts on 2 dpns, pick up 5 sts above these 10 and then start given'r in the round. Keep going until you get near the top of your thumb, and then start your decrease as above, but begin with ssk, k5.

I'm almost done with Anouk from Knitty. I just need to give it a little block and some buttons. I'm really pleased with it. It was knit with Cascade Sierra (a wonderful suggestion from the wonderful lady at my LYS - The Loop in Halifax). I'm quite pleased with it (wait...i said that already). I was inspired to make it from all the other Craftster members that had made and posted their results. Thanks!

Hello kiddoes - After looking at everyone's complete Sophies (they all really look different) I finally decided to try it. I hadn't used circular needles with any success before this, and I am pleased with how I did. This was also the first time I had made and i-cord and I don't what the heck I was afraid of. Next time I make i-cords I think i'll do it a bit looser for felting...I think they look a little skinny.

We didn't mean for them to be so off register, but fortunately, we liked the way that it looked so we kept going. This was the very fist one; we thought we'd use a garbage t-shirt (because of all the bleach stains), but now I wear it all the time..... In order to make best use of the screen, we would do the yellow part first, duct tape it off and then go back in to do the black.....I don't think it turned out to shabby.....We've made a whole lot of these shirt and they've been a successful seller at the bands shows....We're all right proud and stuff.

Okay, this is my second baby sweater, and my 3rd knitting project. The last one was a grown up sweater when I bound off the collar stitches so tight I couldn't get it over my freaking head...To make it worse it was BEAUTIFUL rhubarb Manos yarn....Very disappointing....

But I picked up my needles to make a sweater for my niece....This time it was "Mikey Liked It" from the Yarn Girls book....The colours came out pretty odd in the photos, but it was a purple, tan, dark & light green and orange yarn with a plain orange yarn (knit both together)....
